Inhibition of phosphodiesterase-5 suppresses calcineurin/NFAT- mediated TRPC6 expression in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells
Abstract The up-regulation of transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6) has been found to contribute to the proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), and inhibition of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) has been shown to suppress TRPC6 expression in PASMCs. However, the molecular...
